Poll of the Day > Which wonderwoman is hotter?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's mildly amusing objectifying a feminist movie.

Personally, I don't like the new wonder woman's actress, also she's flat-chested and her name is stupid. It's like naming your son "guy".

Gal but it's a close call.

Personally I think Lynda Carter by a country mile.
---

Older standard of beauty just isn't that good looking.

Gal Gadot is fine as hell.

I've seen older wonder woman as a kid but seeing it now she looks like she's wearing a diaper...

gal gadot

its not even close

not even a little bit
---

Gal looks like a movie character,Lynda like a comic character.

Gal for me.

I could swear that Lynda's expression in that gif is that of a woman attending a surprise bukake party.

@TheOrangeMisfit

Is that the best you can do for Lynda. Have these:









I can't believe that freaking ugly hag Gadot is winning this poll. Gadot is one grotesque woman who is so wrong for Wonder Woman it is laughable Hells she doesn't even look like W.W unlike Lynde.

The gorgeous Lynda is Wonder Woman always has been always will be.

Did you know there are plans at Warner to do an animated Woman Woman based on the 1970's TV series with Lynda reprising her role as W.W with this pathetic movie coming up.
---

Lynda is the better looking Wonder Woman, she actually looks like an Amazon. Tall, muscular, and wide hips.

Gal looks like your typical European supermodel. Thin and no body definition whatsoever. Yea, she put on some weight for the role but she still looks anorexic.
---

Gal by far
---

Gal, it's definitely going to come down to how old you are. Lynda is before my time so it's just not my style.

Did Gal Gadot murder your family? Holy shit dude calm down.
---

Gal has a cuter face, Lynda had a better body and actually looked like the character she was supposed to be playing.

Gal's accent and lack of any real acting ability doesn't really help, either. She's fine in the Fast and Furious movies where no one actually cares about that, but it hurts her here.

I always thought Carter wasn't very good looking. She looks like a young granny. The new one is hot.

She was in Fallout 4 as well. But you know why right?

Her husband Robert A. Altman is the CEO of ZeniMax Media, parent company of publisher Bethesda Softworks.

Gal, but that's a super unflattering image of Lynda Carter

But how do you explain the other somewhat washed up actors they got to fill roles? They can't ALL be married to Zenimax execs!

Or for that matter, why, when Max von Sydow apparently died halfway through recording lines for Skyrim, they got someone terrible at mimicking his voice to do the other half of his dialogue instead of replacing him entirely, thus making his character something of an abomination?

Honestly, nothing about Lynda Carter's voice-acting screams nepotism to me (even if there was a bit involved), because she IS an actress, and she HAS acted fairly regularly for years, almost entirely in roles her husband had absolutely no influence over. People WILL recognize her, which in turn means she has just about as much "celebrity factor" as a lot of other "celebrity" voices in games.

And Lynda's torch song singing as Magnolia was pretty good, honestly, so I'm fine with her voicing the character.

If game companies are going to keep hiring ex-Battlestar Galactica actors or Firefly actors to voice roles because they loved those shows, or hiring "legitimate" actors to do roles in the hopes of name recognition giving them a bit of a rub respectability-wise (see also, Patrick Stewart., Max von Sydow, etc), I don't really have a problem with an exec pulling strings to get a spouse or family member or friend or whatever a job as long as they can actually DO that job.

Because honestly, I'd love it if they'd passed on, say, Joan Allen, Terence Stamp, or half-zombie Max von Sydow (even though I love Terence Stamp and Max von Sydow as actors in general) in favor of someone who actually seems like they want to be in the recording booth and know what they're doing. Hearing a bored, dispassionate voice putting stress on the wrong words and acting like they have no idea what's going on doesn't win me over, even if it's a voice I recognize from other, better things that I may also have enjoyed. I'll almost ALWAYS take professional voice-actors over "celebrities", because stage and screen actors tend to put out very poor vocal-only performances, especially if they don't give a shit about the work.

(This isn't universal, of course - Mark Hamill's a fantastic voice-actor, and there are any number of other actors who seem to put in the extra effort and produce strong vocal performances in games or animation. I'm not really criticizing Sean Bean or Christopher Plummer, for example. But execs definitely seem to think that name recognition trumps performance, which I strongly disagree with.)

Given he's still alive, I'm going to assume you disapprove of a large chunk of his voice acting. I honestly didn't notice a drop in quality, but then I guess I don't play those games for the main quest.

Gal Godot couldn't lift a single one of Lynda Carter's wonder twins.

Gal is the hotter woman but Lynda was the hotter Wonder Woman. The new outfit with its silly shaped breastplate, etc, isn't as flattering as the old outfit even if the bottom part of the leotard looked silly.

While I think that Gadot looks incredible -- she became a celeb crush after I saw her in a Fast & Furious -- I'm not sure why people tend to respond to criticisms of looks by suggesting that the critic is themselves ugly, nor why anybody would think that would be relevant if they were.

A critic's looks have little bearing on their criticism although, in many cases, ugly people tend to lower standards because they've gotten used to taking what they can get.

You're prolly ugly too if that helps you out

It's not a question of drop in quality - half the lines are literally delivered by a different actor. If you have a good ear for voices, it's kind of obvious (and if you don't have a good ear for voices, then I understand why you might not notice).

Basically, any dialogue he delivers which is mostly plot exposition is clearly Max von Sydow. Then, where there's a line that is basically gameplay mechanics/quest instructions (ie, "Go here, do this thing, read this book, kill this monster"), the voice changes radically - the volume is much louder, the accent is gone, the timbre shifts. It's very clearly someone trying to do an impression of the existing voice lines from Max von Sydow, but doing so very poorly.

I said he "apparently died" during development mostly as a joke. But it definitely seems like they had one recording session with him early in the process for the narrative elements, and then, for whatever reason, either couldn't get him or didn't want him back to do a second recording session for the gameplay dialogue, and just figured they'd get someone else to do it.

Which was honestly a terrible idea. Granted, I'm sure they simply didn't give a single fuck because they assumed most people would be like you and not even bother playing the main quest anyway, or that those who did wouldn't notice (but damn it, it's hard NOT to notice). If they couldn't get him back to do the later lines, they should just have gotten someone else to redo his original dialogue so it would at least be consistent.

The lines that are actually in his voice are fine - they sound a bit old and tired, but since he's playing "doddering outcast scholar" it fits the role perfectly.

All the celebrity voice acting in Bethesda games are a terrible idea.
